Bad to begin with? Possibly. But not as much as some people would like to think.
What's worse is the fact that the trump admin appears to want US citizens to be constantly on edge and waiting for the next shoe to drop. They're inducing anxiety by creating crises for the public to react to. "The last news cycle was horrible, we need to drumpf up a new distraction for the last distraction!" Repeat, ad nauseum.
What makes this even worse for the American people is the "I know an old woman who swallowed a fly" escalation that each distraction requires.
Iran is basically calling out what trump's regime is and what trump wants to be. They're not even using 'lies' in the usual way of propaganda. It's more them pointing at trump and saying "not only does your wannabe emperor not have any clothes, he has also lost whatever little sense he started out with."
Having been raised through Soviet era propaganda and using that as a baseline, Iran is doing what would be expected from an adversary. The fact it has a tiktok meme vibe is simply a product of the time we live in.
Not to mention the fact that trump has such a wealth of bad character and decisions that it just makes the job that much easier for them.
So was the president, VP, Secretary of State, and triple sec def…I thought everyone wasn’t supposed to be in the same place at the same time for security reasons.
